Note: Unlike the japanese version of this event, the pokémon were distributed at level 1, not as eggs. You can get six times the same pokémon (example: six Horsea) or get all six pokémon that are being distributed (example: Horsea, Trapinch, Swablu, Bagon, Druddigon), one in each week per game.

If you need double confirmation: Basically it says to check back on the 16th for more info.

To be precise, it says something like "To completely conquer Dragon-Type Pokemon a second time and more info, visit us on 8/16!" That is to say, there is something about a "Second mission" which the advertisement refers to... but I don't know what it means. Maybe it refers to the fact that the next Pokemon TCG set which features Dragon-type Pokemon for the first time will be release around the same time?

"These six Shiny Pokémon that are or evolve into Dragon-type Pokémon were distributed over Wi-Fi. There was a total of six different time periods, allowing players six different opportunities to obtain all six of them."

We just don't know for sure if each pokémon has his own time period to be obtained, or if they are distributed randomly.

It doesn't really matter, this seems to be the best pokémon event ever!

I'm not FLUENT in Korean, but I'm trying to learn it. As such, I'll try my best to translate everything (or at least all the important bits) for everyone.

First off, NOW I know what they meant my "Second Mission"; it's like a two part event. And obviously you'll need a Korean copy of Black and White... I'm sure that's just too obvious, but I can't shake the feeling some people think it'll work on their non-Korean game carts... (¬_¬)

MISSION 1: 닌텐도 Wi-Fi 커넥션으로 손에 넣을 수 있는 색이 다른 포켓몬 6마리를 모두 모아보자!

MISSION 2: 드래곤타입 포켓몬을 손에 넣고, 배틀에 강한 포켓몬으로 키워보자!

Gimme a little bit and I'll be back with the NON-Google'd translations.

MISSION 1: Through the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, there are 6 other-colored Pokémon available in all for you to get!

MISSION 2: With your Dragon-type Pokémon, battle intensely with Pokémon to make it grow!

...by the looks of it, it IS a simple Wi-Fi event (as in, not a local-only event, but one that can be done over the internet). I thus feel it's safe to assume that the given dates are when that particular Pokémon is made available, meaning you have a chance to get all six of them!

Lemme find out more about this though... Maybe you can only get one in all, and you just have to wait for the date to get the one you want....

...

EDIT: OK, I'm thinking it's not so clear cut. Right above the dates there is a section called "Precautions", and there is a word colored red which means "randomly". Secondly, next to each number is the character "회", which means "time" (as in, first time, second time, third time, etc).

Therefore, I suspect that you have six chances to get a Pokémon, and each chance happens in those time periods (once a week). And with each chance, you get a RANDOM Pokémon from the lot. Basically meaning, you may as well end up with six Horseas by the end of this.

I'm working on the actual translation, but this is what it looks like is going on. Oh well, c'est la vie!

That's exactly what bulbapedia says!

I quoted from them, and after that they also added: "The Pokémon obtained is random."

For some reason Pokémon Korea also says something about GTS.

I think we're supposed to trade the shiny pokémon's we already got , in order to get them all!

OK, well, there we are! To be fair, your post did say that it wasn't clear if it was random or not, so I just wanted to be doubly sure of this. As in, make a separate confirmation. And so there we are!

Thanks very much, nick15, for translating all of those details! That's some impressive work!

I just read on Bulbapedia that the event of these shiny dragons begins from August 23rd to October 6th.

The website, and all the details that nick15 provided say October 4th, not 6th. This is a good example of bulbapedia not always being a super-reliable source. Not that this site is without mistakes, but bulbapedia tends to make quite a few more in their news reporting.

On a related note, a lot of the users who update bulbapedia's event info just get a lot of that info from this site.

It doesn't really matter, this seems to be the best pokémon event ever!

You do know that this event has happened once before already, in Japan, right? But with the difference being that they were eggs in the Japan event.

With six chances to get six pokemon, there are going to be a total of 36 Wonder Cards for this event.

It's very likely that the only difference of the WCs of the same pokemon over the six weeks will be the WC ID, though.

For those who want to help contribute Wonder Cards for the Gallery, it's possible to grab more than one WC per week on a single game if you have access to a means of managing your sav files (Such as: USB save file manager for retail carts, ROM backup on a flashcart, or emulator that is set up to access the wifi connection)

Here's what you can do:

Make a backup of your sav file before getting any WCs

Download a Wonder Card from the Wifi Connection

Extract that sav file and store it somewhere

Restore original sav file with no WCs into your game

Download another Wonder Card from the Wifi Connection

Rinse, Repeat, until you have all six for the week

A big thanks ahead of time to anyone willing to help out with the legwork in obtaining these all for the Gallery and collection!

And thanks again to nick15 for all the details.

BTW, I'm kinda bummed out that I completely forgot about the first week of events... and, apparently, so did everyone else (at least, by virtue of the fact that the first week's event's PGF files aren't on the PP Event page).

Oh well, at least I'll be sure to catch the next five.

EDIT: DERP! I didn't think to check the main PGF link for the first week's files. Duuuuhh!!
